Chocolate? Chocolate?!?! CHOCOLATE!!!!

Spoiler

I hate chocolate

Clearly you've never had a warm brownie under vanilla ice cream with hot chocolate syrup poured on top.
you missing out man.
Its the perfect fusian of vanilla and chocalate with the sensational blast of hot and cold all at once. youve gotta try it, youve just gotta!

 

[asianaussie]

da capo is pretty bad, da capo 2 is passable but still meh

neither is hipster

dry brownies are HORRIBLE with ice cream

^^dum

They're extremely closely connected, but not the same thing.

The mind doesn't encompass dead matter from a stroke or w/e, for example, but it would still be part of the brain. That's just one example.

thats not the point

the point is i dont think the mind is non-physical or spiritual in any way

 

[jimmyjoe]

just watched frozen planet episode SIX

AMAZING

I'll have to check that out, all the discovery channel big budget specials are amazing. planet earth obvi, blue planet(i think that what it's called), and wild russia are pretty good series too.

and HD definitely makes a difference with these, I'd try to see them in 1080p/1080i if possible, but at least 720p.

so if Alancitu's "friends" keep their promise, they will fly him down to Tacna for the tournament on January 14th

 

[The Star King]

the mind/brain argument isn't one founded on semantics.

some people believe (mostly religious) that the mind is soul-like and non-physical whereas the scientific community consider the mind as physical matter ie. a series of neurons/atoms etc. hence mind = brain.

So basically it's arguing about the existence of a soul/spirit

So basically it's a disguised religious argument

OK then

 

[asianaussie]

everything is a disguised religious argument these days

 

[The Star King]

I disagree because my buddy Jesus said you suck

 

[Battlecow]

thats not the point

OK. Who said otherwise?

 

[asianaussie]

my buddy Ahmed tells your buddy Jesus that he's a dirty faker

 

[clubbadubba]

so if Alancitu's "friends" keep their promise, they will fly him down to Tacna for the tournament on January 14th

So what your saying is january 2012 is bringing with it an unprecedented amount of hype? Did I say January 2012, i meant Hypeuary

 

[Battlecow]

This is almost as hype as the genesis + Isai vs. Tacna event of last summer.

 

[clubbadubba]

I would say even hyper because apex is bigger and now peru has mad respect from everyone. it deserves 2 HYPE THREADS

 

[Battlecow]

Advice taken.

OK then

pretty much yes, although their are some non-religious people (not many) that believe in a soul and they call themselves 'cartesian dualists' after the philosopher descartes, who revolutionised the idea.

did no one take philosophy?

Stick to making combos.

 

[M!nt]

You seem upset
I don't see what Pete did wrong.

 

[KeroKeroppi]

so many people online right now. we should all hold hands and sing kumbaiya,

its a common argument in philosophy class so i was a little surprised no one had heard of it before

i wasnt trying to be rude or anything

speaking of combos, watch my new ones

 

[The Star King]

What do you even learn in philosophy, sounds like a wack subject

 

[Peek~]

How to flip burgers

 

[clubbadubba]

lol yea philosophy is pretty wack imo. Philosophy majors claim to use logic and reasoning, but they are generally (don't want to offend anyone) the same people that can't handle basic math and CS. You don't gain any knowledge or skills that are useful to society that I can think of.

 

[M!nt]

Uh Psychologists help people with mental disorders, which I think would benefit society.
Don't see how it would be any lesser than any other medical doctor.

DERP Philosphy lol nvm they arnt needed

 

[asianaussie]

psychologists, pfft

fairly sure i know psychology better than most of you, and i can safely say they don't help nearly as much as your regular GP does

 

[KeroKeroppi]

i recently visited a college and noticed they had philosophy as a major. (no offence philosphers) i saw this and couldent help but think about how much of a waste of time and money that major would be.
how do you get a job with a degree in philosophy?
are you going to enlighten people to the point where they would want to give you their money?


maybbbbbbbbeee a public speaker. maybe. risky risky.

 

[Battlecow]

Not as bad as theology.

"Could God create a major so useless, not even he could get a job with a degree in it?"

 

[KeroKeroppi]

the only way to get a job in theology is to teach theology. the only way to get a job in philosophy is to teach philosophy.
its really just one big insignificant cycle of useless careers and knowledge that people stopped carring about two thousand years ago. this isnt the age of jesus christ and socrates people. no one gives a **** if you think you know the meaning of life, or if you have some special insight concerning religion.
maybe im being to extreme. doubt it though.

 

[ciaza]

psychologists, pfft

fairly sure i know psychology better than most of you, and i can safely say they don't help nearly as much as your regular GP does

but imma get paid a gorillian dollars an hour to say: "and how does that make you feel" before reaching into my pocket and literally throwing anti-depressants at them

philosophy isn't all about religion, it's a lot about logic or reasoning. it's funny, i know one person irl who takes philosphy and he scored second highest (at his school) in maths (cheers). i think it's interesting stuff but i don't think it helps much in the real world.

mind = brain is not about religion or the soul or whatever from what i've seen.

 

[clubbadubba]

Yea there are a number of majors like that. English Literature is more or less the same way. History is slightly better, but not by much. I agree with you Kero, those kinds of majors aren't exactly what I would call practical.

Sometimes the logic philosophers apply is just very very flawed. I stopped giving philosophy credit after someone taking philosophy thought St. Anslem's Ontological argument for the existence of God was a good one and no amount of reasoning my friends and I tried would change his mind.

 

[ciaza]

reminds me of a comic i once saw:

good times.

there are a lot of faulty arguments out there to be sure, pascal's wager springs to mind. some stuff is interesting though, i always find it fun to watch william lane craig debate people, or reading the faq on his website.

 

[asianaussie]

i recall reading that pharmacology is the major which leads to the lowest rate of out-of-uni employment

even lower than woman studies, which is a major that just baffles me (i might be remembering this wrong because i can't fathom woman studies being a major)

 

[ciaza]

my uni has major in story-telling

i wanted to take it so bad

also, can you text dean? i'm out of credit

 

[asianaussie]

you're out of credit?

im out of country

 

[clubbadubba]

those women studies majors make the best sandwiches I hear

 

[KeroKeroppi]

Ikjjjjjjjjhjjhh

i've got them doing my laundry and dishes. not a wrinkle in any of my clothes and you can see my dishes shine from a mile away.
